whitetailkiller Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 some of you might remember i lost gun hunting rights on the land i hunt...well saturday i'm in my treestand with bow in hand..... then i hear a gunshot that was very close!!!!(just over the hill from were i was..) seconds after the shot , a buck comes cruzing over the hill and crashes 10 yards from my tree.. then two guys come running over the hill, when they got to the deer they were saying that they had better get out of here and fast( they never looked up at me) {i thought about saying something right then but they had a gun and i didn't} one guy ran to get the truck...i got the color make and model along with the plate number!! as soon as they were out of sight i went to the landowner's house and called NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE... they came took my statement,,while taking my statement another officer came over and said they had the guys pulled over up the road........they got pulled over by a regular cop for blowing a red light, and whil writing the ticket, got the info i provided over the phone..... they brought the guys back to the land and i identified them and the 6 point buck in the bed of the truck!!!! i was told i mat need to appear in court as a wittiness...... the deer was donated to farmers and hunters feeding the hungry, and the guys got cuffed and stuffed!!!! just waiting to find a story in a local paper about it and nothing so far!!!!! oh the guys were not only tresspassing but illegaly firing a rimfire rifle in county limits , and of coarse poaching!!!!! i hope they rot!!!!!!

huntrman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: busted poachers!! Great work! Absolutely amazing how STUPID some people can be. You did a great thing busting these guys. They deserve to be locked away for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddpipkin Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: busted poachers!! Call the newspaper yourself !!!! News of game violations is not generally considered "news", by leftist media types who assume that we hunters are all just outlaws out to kill anything. The fact that POACHERS were turned in by an ETHICAL HUNTER makes it news !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dust Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: busted poachers!! Chances are you will never see court. Guys like that tend to take the first deal to come along. Great job though. More people should get involved. Excellent decision on not revealing yourself also. Things could have been real ugly.

GWSmith Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: busted poachers!! I Agree...Excellent choice not to take the risk of letting them know you were there. You really never know what someone, who already knows their breaking the law, will do when they think nobody will find out...Very Glad your not a casualty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QDMAworks4me Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: busted poachers!! That is like a textbook case of how to catch poachers!!! Nice job, let us know what happens to them when they go to court, would be nice to see some heavy fines and loss of liscence but if you lived in NY they would give them a pat on the back and a cup of coffee for their troubles!!
